" What do you mean by your father, Arisu? " Misaki asks Arisu as she mentions her father.

" What do you mean? Oh you know what I mean, witch! "

" You used the Demonic Spiritual Arts, didn't you!? "

" Oh, so you knew, huh!? " Misaki asks, she just responds outright without any attempt on lying.

" Yes, and it seems you didn't try to hide it very well from me. "

" Or perhaps, that is your way to tell me that 'I now have your father's life', isn't it? " Arisu asks again and Misaki still smirks with no fear.

" Of course, you know Arimori and I had a history before things happened... "

" But let's set aside that for now... "

" For you should've not to be focused on me, Tsuchimikado Clan Leader. " Misaki says before Arisu could say anything, in the burning room, Arisu suddenly could feel a powerful dark presence outside of the room.

" Wait, what is... "

" My partner had done his job well... " Misaki says as behind her, a huge explosion happened as the room exploded from the outside, creating a huge hole as an opening.

" *cough* *cough* what the... "

" You seemed had a bad time, I thought you will cover things up after I clean the Clan Lead- "

" Oh! The Grand Holy Priestess is here, speaking of the devil! " from the smoke of destruction, Andrew comes into the fiery room.

" It's hot in here..., damn... " Andrew waves his hand to cool himself.

" You! " Andrew then calls one of the Demonic Spirits he controlled with [Dark Blinding].

[ Demonic Spirit: Darkstorm Cloud ]

[ Threat Level: Disaster ]

[ A Demonic Spirit that looks like a living storm cloud. ]

As the Darkstorm Cloud appears, it then swallowed the fire that spread around the room and absorbed it into its wind vortex to Arisu's own surprise.

"( It absorbed my Sunfire!? )" Arisu was surprised but before she could give one thought, Andrew immediately attacked her, striking her with a weapon he just obtained.

[ Weapon Name: Divine Decimation Dagger ]

[ Type: Forbidden Item ]

" Hmph! " Arisu was so surprised before she could shoot a Sun Arrow, Andrew quickly slash her arm off, making the slashed arm bounce far away.

" How, huh!? " Arisu then sees Andrew's weapon, she was so surprised to see such a weapon in his hands.

"( The 'Divine Decimation Dagger'!? )" Arisu is surprised as she then decides to switch places with a nearby wood ornament, using the [Wood Spiritual Manipulation] to manipulate the nearby wood that was still half burned at the time.

[ Wood Spiritual Manipulation: Tree Thorns ]

"( That dagger, shouldn't it be sealed in the underground!? )"

"( How could he get his hands on it!? )" Arisu says while attacking Andrew with her woods.

" Whoa! " Andrew quickly dodges it, using his immense agile physique he dodges every attack from every wood Arisu made.

While dodging, he doesn't forget to slash the woods using the dagger, a legendary dagger that could cut every energy within an object such as Gift Core Energy that flows within the very wood.

As Andrew slashed it using the dagger, the tree thorns froze, not frozen by eyes but its movement immediately stopped as the Gift Energy that fueled it had already been cut out by the Dagger's blade.

" Hoho, I liked this one! " Andrew says as he exchanged blows with Arisu, he deflects any projectiles Arisu mustered while shooting her with his other weapon his [Darksteel Armament]

[ Darksteel Armament: Shifting Hand ]

[ Mode: Barrage Bullets ]

Andrew attacks Arisu using the Barrage Bullets, making her on the defensive as she shields herself with the wood around her.

" I guess I should switch another gear again, then. " Arisu says as she then decides to use her third Gift Ability from her third God.

[ Gift Ability: Supporting Water ]

Using this ability, Arisu then amplifies her broken wood creations, as wood is made from plants, thus, it could be amplified by water, making it grow into trees that could cover Arisu more from the incoming barrage of bullets.

[ Healing Water ]

Arisu heals her sliced hand using water, she then sees where the chopped hand was and realized that it's at her left.

"( If I go out there, the man would attack me with great precision. )"

"( Hmm..., what should I do? )"

"( Suijin-Sama... )" Arisu prays to the Water God, the Gifter of this third Gift within her.

" What's going on, Arisu-Sama!? " Misaki asks while watching the whole battle, letting Andrew take over.

" Are you afraid to come out!? where are your Gift Powers!? " she tries to provoke Arisu which Arisu then comes out to reach her chopped hand.

" Foolish girl! you fell for it! " Andrew says as he shoots her which was hit.

" Kuakh! " Arisu gets hit, but then.

" Huh!? " Andrew was surprised as Arisu's body melts into the water which surprised him suddenly Arisu stormed out from her hiding place during that nick of time, reaching her chopped hand and putting it back again while her water ability heals it and her wood ability connected her hand once more, making it movable again thanks to the power of her Gifts.

" Thank the gods, I'm their Avatar. " Arisu prays but as she prays, Andrew charges at her, attempting to slash her again which Arisu quickly dodges now.

" Don't pray just yet, I'm still here you know! " Andrew tells her as the Priestess uses each of every ability she had to make sure Andrew's dagger doesn't hit her.

"( If the 'Divine Decimation Dagger' hits me then it's over, that thing could cut the energy that is spread throughout one's body, making the body's Gift Energy gone for even hours. )"

"( A fatal soft damage that I would never take! )" Arisu says as she then summons her [Water Ganggers ] a Water Clone of hers used to attack Andrew.

" Water Clones, huh!? " Andrew says while facing them, slashing them one by one.

" Neat! " Andrew says as he slices the clones, but it seems Arisu is quite smart too, as she then enhances her clones from afar, making them able to self-duplicate when fighting Andrew.

" Oh damn, this is going to be bothersome!? "

" [Darkstorm Cloud]! Could use some help here!? " Andrew calls Darkstorm Cloud, it then activates its vortex again as it sucked all of the water clones onto its very vortex kind of mouth.

" Tch! It could absorb water with its swirling vortex, huh? "

" Fine then! " Arisu says as she switched Gift again, this time, she used her 4th Gift.

[ Gift Ability: Craftmanship Metal ]

Using this Gift, Arisu creates an armor for herself, she covers herself with heavy Divine Metallic Armor, made from Divinium.

" Whoa, s**t! " Andrew says the curse word as he looks at Arisu transformed into a huge robot-like armor.

[ Divine Armorized Forge Mechanic Brawler ]

" I heard your Gifts can control metal, but I never thought it would be a Gundam-like robot like this here! " Andrew says as he looks at Misaki who was quite surprised too to see such a display.

" Ame-no-Uzume-Sama, allow me to use your Divine Forges! " Arisu prays as she then attacks Andrew who ordered Darkstorm Cloud to protect him.

" Annoying cloud! " Arisu then adds some of her Gift Energy to her new armor, making it able to touch the Demonic Spirit.

As Arisu touched it, she then heated her mecha's arms with her Sunfire, switching Gifts while inside the already-bendable mecha armor as she burns the very Spirit to a crisp using the heated hands of the mecha.

* Darkstorm Cloud death voices. *

" Now die, Demonic Spirit! "

" I'm done with you! " Arisu says but she focuses too much on the spirit.

*stab*

Andrew stabs Mecha's armors nape as he slips behind undetected, stabbing Arisu's right hand from its back.

" Curses! " Arisu shouts from inside the mecha armor.

" You should've trained your physical senses a little bit more, girl. " Andrew advises her, telling her that she is so dependent on sensing one's Gift Energy, making Andrew able to sneak from her just by increasing his Gift Energy's suppression levels.
